With a few days off the bikes we were ready to hit the road today for a smooth 70 mile ride up past Lebanon to Ozark Estates campground.

This building has been repainted back to the look and feel of 1950.

Interesting history of this business, but another story of 66 decline when the interstate came through.

The fun surprise of today was meeting Pavan from Michigan. He’s riding RT 66 E to W, starting in Chicago two weeks ago. We traded stories about what is ahead for each of us. We wish him well.

Bethany WallLike ships in the night... but cyclists in the day. That's something! I'm wondering if this means you have about two weeks remaining in the journey, conditions permitting. Is Pavan journeying solo?
